new (bi)weekly block game thread cause doors are done! \o/
not only are doors 2 blocks tall now, there's a generic system to create up to 16x16x16 multi-block structures just by specifying the positions and blocks in json
anyway, doors make a huge difference to the game's feel. with doors and tables and such these shacks are starting to feel like real houses
edit: correction, structures can be 32x32x32 because each axis is -16 to +15
i juiced up the crude carpentry table: now it drops the items you craft, and materials involved in the crafting get a little animation. also it now shows the quantities of materials when you mouse over the crafting station for convenience
next is adding more items/recipes to the table to finish it out
i'm also gonna give splitting block game development into shorter (bi)weekly threads a shot. we'll see how that goes
it looks so simple but i had to refactor so many systems and even create an entire entity hierarchy to make it so you can mouse over, click, and pick back up crafting components from a crafting station like this
glad it's done though
ok! now when you add crafting components to the carpentry table you can see them on the table in the world! well, up to a pile of 3 anyway >_>
now i just need to add the recipe picker, pressing E to craft, and being able to pick the components back up and it'll be ready!

polished up the hint text for crafting stations to tell you what inputs they accept
doing these hint texts is a pain but i believe in the game teaching people how to play it instead of a wiki
added block entities and an item input component which can filter items. then i added a new click behavior that adds items into an item input, so now i can put rough wood, sticks, and cordage into the carpentry table
no screenshot because it doesn't visually show the inputs yet, that's a tomorrow task. you'll be able to see the wood, sticks, and cordage lying on the table after you add them by left clicking
nothing to really show today. i replaced a bunch of spaghetti code for left click behaviors like breaking and placing blocks with modular behavior instances, which is needed for more complex interactions with the carpentry table
which doesn't screenshot particularly well
ok i've finally reworked all my block code so that i can have more complex blocks with data stored outside the standard block array, and i've fixed all the bugs that caused
so now i can finally get started on what i was actually supposed to be doing which is adding block entities so i can make the carpentry table usable
added flint knife and cordage, which you get from using a knife on flamereeds
this means all the components for the crude carpentry table (rough wood, sticks, cordage) are in place and i can start working on that next

Thinking maybe the quantities should always be visible in the hint so you know how much it'll use up 🤔
added the crude carpentry table, block game's first proper crafting station, which will pave the way to many pieces of furniture and building blocks
i also added a sub-text line to the hint window and it now shows how many items will be crafted as well as how many items are required/will be consumed
making more complex recipes that require a certain quantity of source or target items to craft, so i made it so the hint text tells you if you could craft an item but have insufficient materials
part of that whole "the game shows you how to play it so you don't gotta consult a wiki all the time" dealio

i added actually putting picked up items in your inventory but got sick and never posted it
i'm back at work now and have implemented dropping items from your inventory! which i think finishes up all the inventory management stuff
figured out what to do with drops. i want them to go straight into your inventory when you break something, but i also wanted a satisfying drop animation. so i decided to have both!
just don't look down, i haven't implemented the actual "going into inventory" part yet :'D
